14th Italian National Selection of Haflinger Colts (2010)
On the second October weekend, from Friday 8 to Sunday 10, Italy's new generation of Haflinger colts will once again attract international attention. Over two days about 60 horses will be examined by experts for the Haflinger breed and put under the microscope.
The selection is severe, especially for stallions: The aim is to use only the best horses for breeding. Since the focus in Italian breeding has in recent years been put increasingly on good movements, all presented horses must meet high demands. The colt selection in Merano/Meran is sure to be another great occasion for Haflinger breeders from all over Europe to meet.
